Friday, May 15th
Evening Dance Wave 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm | Warmup 7pm | Opening Circle 7:30pm
Guest DJ Karen Funshine | Facilitator Ted Riskin

Intention: Embrace You-Ness
“You-Ness” is the essence of you, a completely unique blend of your genetic & astrological blueprint, your life experiences, your spirit, talents, & desires. Within you lives a full spectrum of personalities, from the wounded child to the wise sage, from the artist to the scientist and so many varied expressions in between. This dance is an invitation to step fully into that multi-dimensional being and welcome all parts of yourself, raw, real, and FREE. Drop the mask of your "usual self" and allow what’s been hidden or suppressed to breathe, move, be seen and felt, whether it be the elegant or the profane, the tender or the fierce, the serious or the sensual, the timid or the wild one. There is no bad or wrong part of you. It's all perfect, whole & complete. Together, we celebrate radical self-acceptance rather than comparison and rediscover the freedom of being wholly, unapologetically you. In the words of the great Dr. Seuss, "Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You". So, let's dive in and get curious about which parts of us show up when we invite them into our dance with loving, open arms, minds, & hearts.

About the DJ
Karen Funshine (Karen Smith) has been dancing since age 3, with movement as her lifelong ally. A veteran raver & EDM enthusiast, she was delighted to discover 5Rhythms and ecstatic dance 10 years ago in Austin - a sober and judgment-free space to get wild & free. She’s since facilitated many women’s conscious dance circles and a vibrant live-instrument dance - weaving music and somatic movement to alchemize emotion, open the heart, and awaken joy. Recently relocated to Asheville, Karen is honored to share her passion and playfulness with her beautiful new community through the universal language of music and dance.
